Dirk is right. The CSS specs should be changed to clearly specify that
IRIs are allowed. There were already other discussions about this
[1][2].
A quick test (using one in "background-image") showed that all major
browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari) already support IRIs. So
I suggest you replace the <url> definition by <iri> throughout the
specs and give a clear definition of what it implies.
